Sunnyside Farms prices on the home itself more than on anything else right now. With a year-built range running from 1964 to 2024 and a median year built of 1993, the stock spans a wide condition spectrum, and at a median of $259,900 on 1,471 median square feet, that works out to $194.14 per square foot — a number that reflects real variance between the oldest and newest homes on the same streets. A 71.9% homestead share tells you most owners here are in the home long term, not cycling it as an investment, which is part of why inventory stays thin.
That scarcity shows up directly in the numbers: zero active listings as of this snapshot, a median 35 days on market for the last 5 closings, and prices up 14% year-over-year. A market heat score of 46 keeps this from reading as frantic, but with nothing currently listed, a seller here is pricing into a vacuum and a buyer needs to be ready to move the moment something comes up rather than waiting for a shortlist to build.
Figures in this note are as of July 15, 2026. The live market numbers elsewhere on this page update nightly and are newer.
The 60-Second Overview
Sunnyside Farms market snapshot (as of October 23, 2026): the median sale price is about $240K ($175 per sq ft over the trailing 12 months of closed sales), and a median 23 days on market for closed sales.
Sunnyside Farms is a community of 152 homes in Middleburg, Clay County, built between 1964 and 2024 (median 1993), with a median living area of about 1,471 square feet. 72% of parcels are homesteaded, the owner-occupancy proxy in the Florida DOR assessment roll (2025 roll, public records).

Who Sunnyside Farms is best for.
Best for
- Buyers comfortable evaluating condition and vintage home-by-home rather than relying on a uniform build era
- Buyers targeting a purchase near the $259,900 median who plan to hold long-term, in line with the area's 71.9% homestead share
- Sellers wanting to price into a market with zero active competition and 14% year-over-year appreciation behind them
Probably not for
- Buyers who want a defined community amenity package, since none is identified in current MLS listings
- Buyers who need to choose from several active listings side by side — there are currently none
- Buyers wanting a home built in a single, consistent construction era rather than a 1964–2024 range

The Sunnyside Farms buying strategy.
If we were buying in Sunnyside Farms today, this is the order of operations we would run for our clients.
Underwrite the condition first. Price the roof, HVAC, and systems honestly before judging any list price; condition swings value here more than square footage alone.
Match the home to real comps. Recent sales of similar condition and lot, not the asking price, tell you what a home is worth.
Move deliberately, not desperately. Neither side has a decisive edge, so a well-prepared, fairly-priced offer wins without overpaying.
Line up financing and inspection early. A pre-approval and an inspection plan let you act fast and negotiate from evidence.
Keep an agent in your corner. The listing agent works for the seller; we represent you and prepare a hand-built valuation before any offer in Sunnyside Farms.
A community built in layers, not a single phase
The 1964–2024 year-built span, with a median of 1993, means Sunnyside Farms was not delivered by one builder in one push. Buyers here are comparing homes from genuinely different construction eras on the same streets, and the median living area of 1,471 square feet sets a baseline that individual homes will run above or below depending on when and how they were built or updated. At $194.14 per square foot against a $259,900 median price, condition and vintage are doing real work in what a given home commands.
There is no confirmed amenity package tied to the community in current MLS data, so whatever draws a buyer to Sunnyside Farms is the home and the Middleburg location itself rather than a shared clubhouse, pool, or gate. With 152 homes total and zero currently active, this is a community you track rather than shop off a list — closings here happen in small batches, and the last 5 closed at a median 35 days on market.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Sunnyside Farms. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
Why work with Momentum here
With zero active listings in Sunnyside Farms right now, this is not a community you find by scrolling portals — it is one you find by knowing which of the 152 homes are likely to turn over next and being positioned before they hit the market. Momentum tracks the closing pattern here (5 sales at a 35-day median, 14% year-over-year price growth) so a buyer or seller gets a pricing conversation grounded in what actually sold, not a guess.
